Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka gifted 3000 sets of Apple iPhone 6 to 3000 top performing employees of the company on January 9, 2015.

Sikka's gift, that was a surprise to the employees, was accompanied by an e-mail.

As of September 2014, the attrition rate at Infosys stood at 20.1 per cent, one of the highest in India, but since Vishal Sikka arrived, the company has been garnering positive press.

Sikka is said to have also personally reached out to employees who have resigned and asked them to stay back.

Also, HCL recently allowed 130 of its employees to either drive home in a gifted Mercedes or take their families on an all-expenses paid trip - domestic or international.

Other steps taken by Infosys to stem the attrition is toying around with new ideas like quarterly promotions, conversion of variable pay to fixed pay and even greater involvement of employees in the decision-making process.
